Termite Inspection
North Narrabeen Northern Beaches

Termite Treatment & Protection

In Australia, termites are frequently referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can cause a massive level of property damage annually. Because of the great capacity for destruction, residents of North Narrabeen Northern Beaches are encouraged to seek reliable termite inspection services.

Managing & Removing Termites

You can find various kinds of termite infestations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the experts, they will likely to apply one of two general termite removal systems. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Typically, in North Narrabeen, termite specialists use a chemical treatment as the preferred type management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some distinct advantages and should also be considered.

It is advantageous to engage the services of an expert termite exterminator to check over your home so the damage can be fully assessed.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided, they provide good protection in treated areas. If not all areas are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can identify those gaps and get access through them once again.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and so they won’t avoid the chemical. Because of this, termites will pass through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites do not identify non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a residual life of up to 8 years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the building by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they were eating. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
